Adverbs

-

 An adverb is a word that describes a verb (“Linda swam quickly”), an adjective (“very short”), another adverb (“ended too slowly”), or even a whole sentence (“I finally bought a house”). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.

Examples
Sam   ran well

Jimmy is very short.

The horse was going slowly

Perfectly recorded Lucy Tom's race.

Most Common Adverbs:

  • really, very
  • well, badly
  • today, yesterday, every day, etc.
  • sometimes, often, rarely, etc.
  • early, late, soon, etc.
  • here, there, everywhere, etc.

In many developed jurisdictions, the traditional punitive approach is being supplanted by rehabilitative justice and deterrent technology. The integration of Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and point-to-point speed cameras has created a landscape where non-compliance is almost instantaneously met with administrative repercussions.
